Funny how people think that parliamentary democracy is supposed to be this quiet, dignified system of government. In actuality for most of its existence it's been a raucous, mud raking, free for all, where occasionally there was a consensus to act on certain issues....sort of like our forum......
That doesn't stop us from wanting our public officials to be setting better examples or to treat the office with more respect.
I wonder if there some sort of civil suit that could be made of this. If the cons were traced to this and were in fact spreading lies about this member could that not be called defamation or some such thing?

It's also why we allow the legal defence of Absolute Privilege. Members are protected against defamation torts for what they say in the chamber.
